I think Nevadans are going to be saying the same, if they aren't already. Cool story about Frog Lube. The last time I tried it, ants invaded my safe to feast on the minty Frog Lube goodness. I've heard of that but never experienced the any invasion. I used Frog Lube some years ago and went back to oil for some reason. I'm now stripping my guns of petroleum and going back to Frog Lube. Most probably know this but I'll say it as a PSA: If you use both F L and oil, you end up with a gooky, gummy mess that resembles grease. You need to strip your parts clean with F L degreaser or solvent before applying the end product. On the Briley front, I decided against buying their rail. After looking at the profile of the rail, I determined I’d likely hate it. With zero contouring up high, it would be like holding on to a big rectangle. It’s really hard to beat the ergonomics of the OEM forearm. Not worth the weight penalty either. I am pretty much with ya there 100%. Kept looking at pics and comparing them to my OEM forearm and can't convince myself that I'd like the Briley. Pretty much for all the reasons you mentioned above. I’ll live with my barrel shadowing for now. Comments Embedded above. Edited April 11, 2020 by Birdog19 Quote
StrangerDanger Posted April 11, 2020 Posted April 11, 2020 I remember thinking this is a lot of work applying the FrogLube. I stripped everything and heated the parts to melt the minty flavored goop into the springs and parts. It worked fine for me, except for the piss ants leaving it stripped of everything but little white granules and the ant conga line into the safe. Most probably don’t need 72 mlok attachment points on their M4. I’m pretty sure I could adapt the Hot Button in to the factory handguard. We just need a forward mounted light to take advantage of this. Quote
filthy phil Posted June 25, 2020 Posted June 25, 2020 (edited) The Briley looks best. I live close by May have to grab one. And their bolt handle Edited June 25, 2020 by filthy phil Quote

Actually did a little research and they're part of SMPInvestimenti which is the company that runs Briley's e-commerce. I already got my order from them from when I ordered some stuff back during the 4th. Quote
skeet Posted July 23, 2020 Posted July 23, 2020 Thanks for the feedback, aznwhip. When I googled the company, the reviews from BBB and FB were not encouraging. Did you order the Briley handguard from them? Quote

However, I did order a bunch of other stuff from them and received in a week from ordering. Quote
aznwhip Posted July 23, 2020 Posted July 23, 2020 Also, my suspicion is they're simple drop ship distributors. Nothing wrong with that as that's a model used by nearly all OEMs. However as they are basically middleman brokers and don't stock locally, shipping would be at the mercy of the OEM. Not a big deal if not in a rush and gladly take the MSRP discount. Quote
Scout_21 Posted July 23, 2020 Posted July 23, 2020 I have an 8" version I'd sell. Mostly due to the fact it interferes with my AVA light mount. I have black magpul type 1 rail covers filled in to it except for the slot that holds a stage saver and the very top mlok and very forward rail sections. PM me if interested Quote

aznwhip Posted July 28, 2020 Posted July 28, 2020 (edited) Just want to say that the 8" handguard doesn't interfere exactly with the IWC multilight mount... You can have both, but depending on what kind of light you have, it might interfere. I had a Surefire X300U on there and it won't fit. I was going to return the handguard, but decided to buy a proper scout light and see if it'll work and throw the x300u on my pistol. I do like that these semi wrap around the top so helps with barrel heat protection. Edited July 28, 2020 by aznwhip Quote
aznwhip Posted July 28, 2020 Posted July 28, 2020 Here's some images for reference. You can see clearance with IWC mount and how my X300U hits it. Also, if you were planning on throwing in some railscales or the like, there's a screw that interferes with one of the mlok slots. 1 3 Quote
StrangerDanger Posted July 28, 2020 Posted July 28, 2020 (edited) Great shots. You could grind that 28 dollar rail scale to avoid contact with that screw. I love those G10 scales. I use them on a lot of high end AR builds. Edited July 28, 2020 by StrangerDanger Quote
aznwhip Posted August 6, 2020 Posted August 6, 2020 This is for reference if anyone's curious on clearance. Scout light clears the handguard when mounted on the pic rail, but not straight up scout mount. I've got an angled Arisaka mount coming so I can play around with it a bit more. Still waiting for my Cloud Defensive LCS mount for UE-07. 2 Quote
Skull and Bones Posted August 14, 2020 Posted August 14, 2020 So did they modify the build or are they shipping adapters to fix the wiggle? Anybody know? Quote

DaveD9 Posted August 15, 2020 Posted August 15, 2020 (edited) Got mine this past April. It's rock solid. Edited August 15, 2020 by DaveD9 Quote
Vertigofirearms Posted August 15, 2020 Posted August 15, 2020 I just realized the handguard kinda resembles the SPAS-12, how it wraps around the barrel and all the slots. Quote
joegie Posted August 18, 2020 Posted August 18, 2020 i ordered when it was first released and it had some wiggle, they sent me the redesigned piece that gets cinched down by the barrel and it's pretty much wiggle free now. Quote
Skull and Bones Posted August 19, 2020 Posted August 19, 2020 Ok, so the redesign fixed the wiggles. Cool Quote
T_Town Posted October 6, 2020 Posted October 6, 2020 Anybody running this on an Entry model? Would the 13” version be too long for the short barrel? Thanks Quote
